Channelfront - Dock - Fishing - BBQ - Deck
WATERFRONT FISHING & BOATING
The biggest advantage of this property is the private channel-front dock and boat slip directly behind the house.
This setup makes it perfect for guests who love fishing or bringing a small boat.
You can:
• Fish directly from the dock • Tie up a shallow sport type boat in the slip • Relax on the lower deck right at water level • Watch boats pass through the channel or bring your SUP stand up paddle board or kayaks and enjoy the calm waters of the channel in front • Enjoy peaceful waterfront sunsets from the upper deck Welcome to our small waterfront fishing house on the channel in Port Isabel with a private dock, boat slip, and two-level deck overlooking the water. Port-O-Call Dockhouse is a unique small coastal retreat designed for anglers, boaters, and families who want direct waterfront access for fishing and boating.
Fish right from the dock, tie up your boat in the slip, or relax on the deck watching boats cruise the channel at sunset. Located just minutes from restaurants in Port Isabel and only 10–15 minutes from the beaches of South Padre Island, this waterfront fishing getaway offers something hard to find — your own dock where the water is truly your backyard.
Many guests love that kids can fish safely right from the dock without needing a boat and is especially great with kids though we do recommend putting life jackets on your kiddos just to be safe.
The property also features a two-level waterfront deck, creating multiple places to enjoy the breeze, grill dinner, or watch the evening sunset over the channel with some margaritas.
A gas BBQ grill is available for cooking your catch or whatever you please (please bring your own propane tank).
Port-O-Call Deckhouse is a two-level fishing house located directly on the channel in Port Isabel.
The home itself is small and quirky, but the real experience is outdoors — where the dock, decks, and water access make it a perfect fishing basecamp. It has 1 true bedroom downstairs, with a nook room for the twin over twin bunk bed, and the balance of sleeping space on two sleepers sofas upstairs that pull out to XL twin size beds.
If you are looking for a large luxury home, this is not that to be transparent.
But if you want a fun waterfront fishing house that is something a bit different, with a dock and boat slip, this is a great choice.
THE LAYOUT
This home has a two-level layout with exterior access between floors and stairs required. There is not an internal staircase.
Ground Floor • Main bedroom with queen bed • Small side bunk room or nook with twin-over-twin beds • Full bathroom • Back door leading directly to the dock and lower deck
Second Floor (accessed via exterior deck stairs only) • Fully equipped kitchen • Standard size living room space with table • Two sleeper sofas that fold out to XL twin beds And act as the other “bedroom.” • Access to a very large and nice upper deck overlooking the waterfront channel
Again, there is no interior staircase, so guests move between floors using the outdoor deck stairs. The upside is two couples or dad fishing can split the space effectively for great privacy.
KITCHEN & LIVING
The upstairs kitchen includes everything needed for preparing meals during your stay:
• Pots and pans • Cooking utensils • Dishes and serving ware
Cooking at home is a great way to enjoy the day’s catch or prepare great time & value saving family meals.
The kitchen and living room share an open space upstairs, creating a comfortable spot to relax after a day of fishing, boating, or exploring Port Isabel.
